Life update: job hunt and first interview
So, I finally had my first real interview since I started hunting for a job a few months ago. I think it went poorly. Here is the basic breakdown:
Mostly, it went as follows:
Interviewer: "What about this issue?"
Me: "I think . . . blah. Gesturing, asking questions, giving answers, occasionally getting it hella wrong, occasionally getting it all hella right."
At the end, I asked point blank:
Me: "Do you think I could do this job the way you want it done?"
Interviewer: "I need to think about it."
So, yeah, not the worst interview ever, but a lukewarm response. *shrug* I think, if I'm going with my metrics from 2008, I probably have to go on at least three more interviews to get a real job.
On the bonus side, its one more thing I've done that I don't have to do coming up in my unending todo list that is job hunting.
